Searching camelCased parameters in API documentation: how we handled it

What's this blog post about?

DocSearch, a tool for searching technical documentation, has been improved to handle camelCase words more effectively. The new implementation uncamelizes content and uses an invisible unicode character as a replacement for spaces in search results. Additionally, Algolia's synonym feature was utilized to address issues with no results for certain queries. These improvements enhance the overall search experience on documentation sites using DocSearch.
